You will get a boxed message telling you of this<!-- need image of the message -->. A demonic fortress is found once per region tile (thus, it is located in precisely one spot in a 16x16 embark square). Demons and other foul beasties might be located at the bottom of the fortress; higher up may be hordes of random {{l|undead}} creatures. The bottom of each fortress is connected to {{L|Hell}} through slade walls, so demons spawning there can not immediately cross into the fortress and swarm you. Hell is only deemed reached once the upright weapon is removed (see below). |

As there is plenty of space inside a demonic fortress to set up traps and defense, they seem to be the easiest way to 'safely' enter Hell. It is also quite possible to reach the bottom layer of the fortress through controlled cave-ins without ever having to fight a single enemy. |

Removing the weapon (by deconstructing it like a building, also known as a {{L|Fun|bad idea}}) causes the glowing floor to disappear, revealing a staircase and releasing the demons from the lower part of the fortress. This can be easily averted by building a regular floor over the glowing one. Below this level are chambers containing demons. Above this level are many similar levels, but without the glowing floor and adamantine weapon. Some of these levels may take the form of long, twisting corridors, and some may have patches of {{L|mud}}. These levels contain many {{l|Undead|skeletal and zombie}} enemies. |
